Robin--my professional life has been all about people throwing up. ;-)
I see nothing that looks like impending vomit. Three viewings. Once with no sound.

(Seriously--huge thing in our field to have made such big strides in eliminating that from the perioperative period. Puking costs big bucks.)

Kinda teasing, but really--to me, he does not look like he's about to hurl, or trying not to. No gagging, no excessive swallowing, no drooling. LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of blinking though. But blinking is not typically a prelude to hurling.
And way too much talking--I have never seen anyone about to vomit talk so fluently. It's more like phrases that get blurted out.

(I never had thought about all this before. I guess I have learned something from passing emesis basins to people.)

After I finished laughing, I remembered that I must be much more careful here with my hyperbole. ;-) Okay, not about to throw up, but I do think he just got back from outside the building, where he was holding a finger up to see which way the wind is blowing and has decided to play the shocked and appalled prosector. "Oh the duplicity!"

--What I don't understand is why there can't be a couple of perp walks as early bites. If we are waiting for perfect prosecutions, I think we are going to starve.--

There should be a whole bunch of perp walks but corrupt systems are gamed systems. The corrupt are smart and know how to run a deal like Biden's Burisma scam, where the corruption is flagrant, but, absent a corruptocrat admitting their crime, they are often not even prosecutable or provable as crimes. Add in blue hell jury pools, corrupt judges, corrupt media reporting, corrupt prosecutors [even if the higher ups are not corrupt] and a hundred other systemic blockages and satisfaction down that road is hard to achieve.
And that is the primary reason the revolt you doubt will occur so often does. Everyone knows the system is corrupt but the means by which it can be rooted out is itself corrupted. And so, absent a political fix, tensions build as the hoi polloi watch the corrupt having their cake and eating it too. And so movements and anger as we see worldwide begin to build. It builds even more as the corrupt state power is used by the corrupt against the officials the people have placed in power to end the unelected state's power; like the kangaroo courts and underhanded tactics Netanyahu, Boris and Trump are facing.

Take the caseof lutsenko hes been a reformer a rebel for a generation, against the kuchmas that signed that corrupt deal with moscow, he was nabbed by a corrupt prosecutor in the tymochenko era who him self went to prison, it was some ridiculous thing like they went after bem carson for. He served some time was released and joined the maidan, this is why poroshenko gave him the gemeral prosecutor job even though he was an engineer he was owed.

Seems to me this era is like the 1930s but stood on its head.
The power thirsty thieves [fascists, Nazis, communists, socialists] spent the early part of the last century using a barbarian-at-the-gates frontal assault strategy to destroy institutions inimical to their thirst for power.
Didn't work out too well.
So, in the post war era they have instead, pretty much worldwide, been tunneling away into the same institutions to convert them to being very imical indeed to their plans, and a lefty is nothing without plans.
Then, you had a conflagration as tyrants assaulted the people's institutions violently because they couldn't or wouldn't defeat them peacefully. Now the tyrants own the people's former institutions and the people's only recourse, if they wish to take them back, is seemingly another conflagration.

Something real that @TheDemocrats could and should investigate.

Nah, let’s falsely accuse and persecute the most successful President since 1969.

BREAKING: US Senate Report finds more than 35,000 foreigners, including 10,000 Chinese, are conducted sensitive research at Dept of Energy National Labs, and accessed NIH genomic data on US population. FBI failed to vet dailycaller.com/2019/11/19/chi…

A normal, sane person looks at the prosecutorial dog and pony shows of the last three years and understands any of these creeps 'coming after' anyone is the opposite of justice and ought to be obstructed at every turn.

A prog or a two-bit assistant DA sees a slime ball like Comey as Winged Victory righting wrongs the stupid masses can't even comprehend.

All of the replies cracked me up Mel.
Trump has now managed to somehow place the progs' tear-stained hopes on the event of a guy they have roundly condemned as a warmongering, dishonest, fascist, baby eating, neanderthal war criminal testifying, like the magnificent Dr Hill, to Trump's unspeakable and impeachable odiousness [or should that be odiosity?]

Astronerd stuff: I’ve been particularly derisive about all the dark matter/energy stuff due to the usual calculations running out to 10 decimal places, but the PTB being off by a factor of 20 when it comes to all the interactions across and between galaxies.

Anyway, this link points to a possible fifth force of nature that maybe/might/could help explain all that.

Somehow he has Nancy in a position where she either has to drive the clown car off the cliff and go forward with a doomed impeachment trial in the Senate where the Republicans will bring in all of their witnesses including Hunter Biden or she lights a fuse under her lunatic base and doesn't impeach.

Either way he wins.

Pollard came up with the title of Traffic's "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" when he was hanging around with Jim Capaldi. Almost 50 years later I still have no idea what the lyrics are about, but it's a good tune.

BTW had a follow up with the doc yesterday that I initially went to and results are all BS levels are normal, down 17 lbs and come back in February when she will likely reduce my meds. She was ecstatic with my progress.

The dietary classes I had to take were fun, too. Totes had the certified dietician in anger mode with my insistence on Low Carbs, high fats and spreading the gospel to the rest of the class. The idiotic Diabetic association is still lauding the 70s dietary guidelines. :eyeroll:

I nailed her on butter v margarine guidelines and the whole low fat no eggs bacon is bad stuff.

Also got her goat on how bad statins are and how NO reputable doctors I know (looking at you amom) recommend them. Heh!

NP: Well it would have Republican support if the Republicans were honest and looked at the facts honestly. It's totally bipartisan.

Napoleon: We totally conquered Russia.

French reporter: But Emperor, you were driven back to France & lost 500,000 soldiers

Napoleon: Well, the Russians didn't engage us in open battle & they burned Moscow. But we totally conquered Russia.

Subjects of IG report are allowed to read portions relating to them ahead of release. Often a source of early leaks. Plus, of course, officials who want to spin the story ahead of time. timehttp://twitter.com/rog2217/status/1197934351574548488 twitter.com/rog2217/status…

The IG report is being leaked to CNN and WashPo. Which means it probably isn’t coming from the Republicans. Proof that all the rumors, leaks, and innuendo these past three years are from the Democrats. It’s time their ethics and character were questioned.

WATCH: David Holmes rolls his eyes during testy impeachment exchange with Jim Jordan http://hill.cm/G5kOlHE
==================================
Video at the link. I am amazed at the following:

1. Arrogant disrespect to Jim Jordan.
2. The Hill apparently thinks that we will think this is cool, instead of siding with Jim Jordan and thinking more people like Holmes need to be gone from the State Department.

"Anyway, this link points to a possible fifth force of nature that maybe/might/could help explain all that."The X-17 Particle

I always love stuff which upsets the known apple cart! Partly, I suppose, because I don't actually understand the apples much at all, and I get perverse enjoyment out of finding out that neither do the experts. I'm a big photon fan though, and I object to this obvious attempt to turn them into bosons.

A team of researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), proposed that the unknown particle was not a dark photon, but rather a boson — specifically, a "protophobic X boson," which would be indicative of a fifth fundamental force.

Nice and tidy, no? Move along. Nothing to see here really. There might be a fifth force, but we can still make it conform to our understanding of how things work. Or ought to.

President Trump denied this in his interview this morning.

Good afternoon! I just realized this is the anniversary of JFK's assassination. 56 years of conspiracy theories. Well,most of us won't be around in 56 years to still be discussing the coup against President Trump. #TwoWeeks better not extend into 56 years! :)
